HOW tO SET F[|R EXpISURE (rhe eosiesr woy)Although the various controls shown on the opposite page may appear complicated, there is one verysimple way to set the camera for correct exposure, and you' l l probably want to standardize on i t .Here's how:

Select the shut ter speed you want to use. l / l25th is the

FlpqT. best average set t ing. On a br ight day, for fast act ionI rnrr I r shots, you can use 1/300th wi thout t rouble, and on a

dul l day use 1/60th. (More on th is on page 10.)

Read the number on your meter (PR-23A or 620) or use

1{EXT: lff i f,#.EV number in the exposure guide packed with

Move the Aperture Contro l unt i l the pointer below thelens res ts on the number you want . These are the . .EV"

Tl lFN. numbers, an extension of the or ig inal Polaro id LandI l lL l ro Camera number sys tem tha t makes i t unnecessary to

bother wi th " f -s tops."

l f you want to change shutter speeds, you can do so. You' l l notice that this wi l l shif t the "EV" numbersand you must reset the EV pointer to the number you want. You' l l also notice that there's a l imit tohow far the pointer wi l l go, and i f the number you want is beyond that l imit, you must turn the shuttercontrof r ing to bring the number to the pointer.

How the process worksAlthough i t is by no means essent ia l that you

understand the Land process to get beaut i fu lp ic tures, many camera owners are interestedin learning how the camera works.

The Land photographic process uses a l ight 'sensi t ive "negat ive" mater ia l which is some-th ing l i ke convent iona l photograph ic f i lm. Ord i -nar i ly th is negat ive, af ter exposu re, would bedeve loped, f i xed , w?shed and dr ied , ? f ld thenused to make pos i t i ve p r in ts in another ser ieso f opera t ions . But in the Land camera , the nega '

t ive and posi t ive are developed at the samet ime, by the same chemica l reagent .

As the d iagram shows, the negat ive and posi '

t i ve ro l l s a re p laced in the i r con ta iners , w i th thenegat ive mov ing pas t the lens box and arounda ro l ler , where i t meets the posi t ive sheet .

When the camera back is c losed, the upperand lower ro l lers press the two sheets together.As the sheets are pul led to process a p ictu re, asmal l sea led "pod" conta in ing a ie l l ied com-pound and at tached to the posi t ive sheetpasses between the ro l lers and breaks out

a long one edge al lowing the mixture to f low out .The ro l lers spread the reagent between thetwo sheets, and development takes p lace. Atrue photographic image forms on the whi teposi t ive paper (which is not l ight-sensi t ive) . Theimage is made of metal l ic s i lver carr ied overf rom the negat ive in precisely the r ight amountsto depict the scene as you photographed i t .

Using the ful l range of shutter- lens sett ingsSimpli f ied instruct ions for sett ing shutter and lens were given on page 9. Here are further sugges-t ions which wil l help you explore the ful l range of the camera.

START WITH THE EV NUMBER. No ma t te rwhat shut te r - lens combina t ion you f ina l l y se lec tfo r a g iven p ic tu re , there is one EV numberwhich is best for that scene. "EV" means Ex-posu re Va lue , and i t i s t he measu re o f how muchl igh t reaches the f i lm. A shor t exposure th rougha l a rge l ens open ing w i l l pass as much l i gh t asa l ong exposu re t h rough a sma l l e r l ens open ing .For example, i f the meter reads EV 12, you canset the shut ter at any set t ing f rom th second toI l I25 second and s t i l l have the EV po in te rpo in t to "12" . Which combina t ion is bes t?

CARE Of CAMERAYour Model 110A Camera is ruggedly bu i l t towi thstand cont inued use, and wi th reasonablecare your camera should las t indef in i te ly . Someof the par ts-even though wel l pro tected-

are necessar i ly de l icate , and carefu l handl ingas noted below wil l prove rewarding. Periodicc leaning is o f great impor tance, and ins t ruc-t ions below should be fol lowed careful ly.

CARE 0F SHUTTER: Do no t l eave shu t t e r cockedwhen camera is not in use. Do not leave shut terset at 1/300 even when not cocked. Shutter isl i fet ime lubricated; do not oi l or attempt toad just shut ter .

CARE 0F LENS: A lways keep lens cap in pos i t ionover lens except when taking a picture. Thehighly-pol ished lens surfaces are coated with aspec ia l coat ing to reduce re f lec t ions and makesharper p ic tures. Do not touch sur faces. Thecoating is relat ively hard, but i t can be damaged

Page24

by f ingerprints and scratches. Clean lens byfirst blowing off or brushing off (with soft lensbrush) loose l in t and dust par t ic les , then po l ishgently with lens t issue or soft, l int less cloth.

CARE 0F R0 t tERS: The two s tee l r o l l e r s ( seepage 3) which control the picture processingare the hear t o f the camera. They must be keptclean, free of foreign matter which can spoi lyour pictures by causing white spots Lrf" aparta long length o f p ic ture. Before load ing eachrol l , turn each rol ler slowly and remove foreigndepos i ts wi th f ingerna i l or mois tened c lo th .

Lubr icat ion: Wi th the Model 11OA no lubr icat ionis needed on any par ts o f the camera. The t ipsof the s tee l ro l le rs in the Model 110A aresealed in a se l f - lubr icat ing bear ing chamber .

G E N E R A T P R E C A U T I 0 N S : K e e p c a m e r a c l o s e dwhen not in use. Keep away f rom sand andmois ture. Do not s tore camera in d i rect sun l ightor in damp locations. Avoid excessive heat,which can spoi l p ic tures and in ter fere wi thproper camera operat ion.
